{"product_id":"evolution-aqua-tempest-filter-pond-polisher","title":"Evolution Aqua Tempest Filter Pond Polisher","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdd a polishing stage to your pond filtration and keep cleaning quick, because the filter draws in air as it empties and agitates its own media. The Evolution Aqua Tempest Filter gives extra mechanical and biological filtration alongside any existing filter, or works on its own on a quarantine system or smaller pond. Its K+Media is moulded with minerals for faster maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h4\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Evolution Aqua Tempest Filter is a pond polisher that cleans its own media with a patent-pending air syphon: as the filter empties, air is drawn in and agitates the K+Media, which keeps routine cleaning quick and simple. Fitted after your main filter, it gives the pond additional mechanical and biological filtration, which helps the water stay clear and healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K+Media is moulded with minerals for faster maturation times. Evolution Aqua's filter media has been independently tested by Cranfield University and by IFTS, a laboratory that is ISO 17025 accredited. On a single pass at the optimum flow rate, that testing showed removal of all particles down to 25 microns, and the media can filter particles down to one micron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Key benefits**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds mechanical and biological filtration to whatever filtration you already run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir syphon cleaning agitates the K+Media as the filter empties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMineral-moulded K+Media for faster maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependently tested filter media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits gravity-fed, pressurised, skimmer line, quarantine and standalone set-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be linked in a modular installation on larger systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Who it suits**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeepers with a primary filter who want a polishing stage after it, including after a UV clarifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone setting up a quarantine system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners of smaller ponds who want a standalone filter, within the pond size given in the specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove that pond size, use it alongside your existing filtration rather than on its own.
